Hi,

1. Is there any way, we can wait until one job, running in background, finishes.

2. How to read eclipse console output text and compare it.

Regards,
Vipin

1. Would this be the only job you have running in the background, or might there be others still running after it finishes?

2. You can map the Console display and do Check Text on it just like any other text component.

Hello David,

1. This is the only job running in background.

2. But in my case console is getting updated very frequently and it's of big size. And one more thing i dont know when console will stop updating.

Hi Vipin,

You can also check RCP Testing Tool - http://www.eclipse.org/rcptt , which do all the background job tracking, async calls and similar stuff automatically.

Thanks,
Andrey

Hi Vipin,

it shouldn't matter that the console is large or that you don't know when the job is done - you can write a module (e.g. called "wait for text to appear in console") that:

- checks whether a specific text is in the console view (using regular expressions e.g. .*background job complete.*)
- if the text is not there, then an event handler in the test case (reacting to a check failed error) is activated. The event handler simply waits for a certain amount of time (e.g. 2000ms). The event handler is set to "retry" (and you can specify how often it should retry). Once the event handler has run, it will perform the failed test step again (the check).

In this way, you can synchronize with the console view to check the text. You can, if you want to, clear the console view before starting your background job by clicking the button in it.

An example of a module that does a very similar thing is in the unbound modules - it's called "wait for enabled" (or similar). It waits until a component is enabled. There's also an example of a module like this on the portal [1].

Hope that helps!
Alex
